I had found wrapmsvc.exe, but I did not know this cccl yet.
Will check.
There might be yet another problem with supporting msvc: Bill's
libraries are not built by 'ar cru', either. AFAIK they have
to be built using link.exe, e.g.
link.exe /lib /OUT:libmylib.lib foo.obj bar.obj
Please note the missing space between '/OUT:' and the library
name.
The command line to build *.dll might be different.
Currently I am using a small wrapper 'winar' for building
libraries for msvc, and I redefine
AR="winar"
ARFLAGS=""
